Motorola Xoom pricing

The Android-Honeycomb powered Motorola Xoom will sell outright for $840, or it’s available on the following Telstra plans:

$29 for the data + $25 tablet repayment – includes 1Gb of data per month. Total cost over the 24 month plan of $1,296.

$49 for the data + $25 tablet repayment – includes 7Gb of data per month. Total cost over the 24 month plan of $1,776.

$79 for the data + $15 tablet repayment – includes 12Gb of data per month. Total cost over the 24 month plan of $2,229.

The Motorola Xoom may well be a great tablet, but at this price it’s hard to see it putting much of a brake on sales of the Apple iPad 2. Apple’s uber successful App Store not only makes the iPad 2 a user-friendly and user-exciting device, its profitability seemingly also allows Apple a pricing advantage on the device itself.
